With the construction of GrayBull, American golf courses continue to learn from the past while building for the future.

Dormie Network is honoring the firefighters who helped defend GrayBull Club by raising funds to enhance firefighting capabilities in the region with a $100,000 match.

On Monday morning, when a fast-moving wildfire raged across the Sandhills of Nebraska, one of the landmarks in its path was GrayBull Golf Club, a soon-to-be completed course, tucked amid the dunes and prairie grasses, just east of North Platte.

When GrayBull opens in 2024, it will do so as an intimate, pure golf getaway rooted in the experiential ethos that defines the Dormie Network’s growing portfolio of luxury clubs.

On an October visit to GrayBull, it’s the golden hour, when emerald threads of tees, fairways and greens stand out even more from the native grasses turning brown and gold.

“Coupled with a world-class David McLay Kidd golf course design, I’m confident GrayBull will be in elite company as a golf destination in the Nebraska Sandhills.” - General Manager Tyler Hadden

And though this is the first time David McLay Kidd has worked in Nebraska, the native Scot is in many ways the perfect choice for the project, considering the Bandon Dunes course he designed in southern Oregon soon after Coore and Crenshaw crafted Sand Hills is equally as important an instigator of the site-driven revival.
